Remember Your Toybox?

When you were a child, your whole Universe was contained within the toys you played with and collected. Obviously I can't talk for the ladies of the 80s, but us lads now in our late twenties and early thirties and beyond still have an enormous hankering for toys from the 80s.

I don't know how many times I've been in a grown up situation, talking about the new exhibit at the Nelson and next thing you know someone is saying "Ah man, I used to have Castle Grayskull and every He-man figure, and then when I went to college, my Mom sold them all at a garage sale for nothing, imagine how much that shit would be worth today." Then someone else would chime in with their 80s toy story.

This blog is going to chronicle toys I find and toys I already have. I'll try to keep to the 80s, but I know I'll wander into other time periods. And if you come across any great finds and want to share them, please be my guest.

All The Single Ladies - The Girls of MOTU

Beyonce would be proud of the booty on these action ladies from the Masters of the Universe (Universe?).

I found both Teela and She-Ra at the same estate sale for a buck a piece. I wasn't even sure if they were from MOTU at the time, but they looked familiar as hell, probably from some latent boyhood crush.

I found Evil-Lyn at a Swap n Shop in KC for $1. She was a little dirty (seriously, not like that) and her joints were loose (really? I'm describing the action figure). But with a little cleaning she came up just fine.

I put them on Ebay, but they didn't get any dates, so I'm keeping them in the collection.



I'd totally take Teela to the prom
